- the elongate shaft 1118 and the end effector 1102 can be manually rotated about the longitudinal shaft axis SA.
- the jaws of the end effector 1102 When the surgical instrument 1100 is inserted into a patient cavity, the jaws of the end effector 1102 are in the closed position so that they fit through a trocar or cannula inserted into the patient. After being inserted into the patient cavity, the jaws of the end effector 1102 are moved from the closed position to the open position by the mechanical closure system 1110. The end effector 1102 can then be articulated about the articulation axis AA by the powered articulation system 1130 to position the jaws of the end effector 1102 relative to patient tissue.
- An articulation sensor 1134 of the surgical instrument 1100 is in signal communication with the powered articulation system 1130 and the control unit 1150.
- the articulation sensor 1134 is positioned on an articulation rod 1136 of the articulation system 1130 and detects movement of the articulation rod 1136, see FIG. 62 .
- the articulation sensor 1134 is configured to detect when the end effector 1102 is being articulated about the articulation axis AA.
- the control unit 1150 is also configured to detect when the end effector 1102 is being articulated as the control unit 1150 controls the articulation motor 1132 driving the articulation system 1130.
- the control unit 1150 When the end effector 1102 is being articulated, the control unit 1150 prevents power from being supplied to the firing motor 1122. Also, the control unit 1150 actuates a lock solenoid 1170 (see FIG. 63 ) of the surgical instrument 1100 when the articulation system 1130 is being actuated.
- the lock solenoid 1170 is in signal communication with the control unit 1150 and comprises a mechanical member or pin 1172 which extends into a portion of the mechanical closure system 1110 to prevent the closure system 1110 form being actuated when the lock solenoid 1170 is actuated.
- the pin 1172 is retracted to permit the mechanical closure system 1110 to be actuated when the articulation sensor 1134 no longer detects that the end effector 1102 is being articulated.
- control unit 1150 when the control unit 1150 supplies power from the power source 1160 to the articulation motor 1132, the control unit 1150 prevents the supply of power to the firing motor 1122 and the lock solenoid 1170 is actuated to engage a carriage 1114 of the mechanical closure system 1110 and prevents the mechanical closure system 1110 from being actuated.
- an articulation sensor may not be necessary.
- the closure trigger 1112 of the mechanical closure system 1110 can be actuated between the unclamped position and the clamped position to capture tissue between the jaws of the end effector 1102.

In other words, the control unit 1150 prevents the powered firing system 1120 from firing the end effector 1102 when the jaws of the end effector 1102 are in the open position or when the jaws are partially closed. When the jaws of the end effector 1102 are in the closed position (i.e., the closure trigger 1112 is in the clamped position), the control unit 1150 permits the supply of power to the firing motor 1122 to allow the powered firing system 1120 to perform the firing and retraction strokes within the end effector 1102.
- control unit 1150 prevents power from being supplied from the power source 1160 to the articulation motor 1132 and the shaft rotation motor 1142 when power is supplied to the firing motor 1122.
- the control unit 1150 controls the amount and direction of current supplied to the firing motor 1122 to advance the firing member from an unfired position to a fired position during a firing stroke and retract the firing member from the fired position to the unfired position during a retraction stroke after the firing stroke is complete.
- the firing member is advanced through the end effector 1102 during the firing stroke when the firing motor 1122 is rotated in a first direction when a first voltage polarity is applied to the firing motor 1122 and is retracted through the end effector during the retraction stroke when the firing motor 1122 is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction when a second voltage polarity opposite the first voltage polarity is applied to the firing motor 1122.
- the surgical instrument 1100 further comprises an encoder, for example, that can track the position of the firing member.
- the encoder is in communication with the control unit 1150 which can determine whether or not the firing member is in its proximal unfired position.
- the control unit 1150 prevents the supply of power to the articulation motor 1132 and the shaft rotation motor 1142 when the firing member is not in its proximal unfired position. Further, the control unit 1150 operates the closure trigger solenoid 1170 to lock the closure system 1110 in its closed configuration when the firing member is distal to its proximal unfired position.
- another solenoid in signal communication with the control unit 1150 and selectively engageable with the closure trigger release prevents the closure trigger release from being actuated to unlock the closure trigger 1112 from its clamped position. More specifically, a solenoid in signal communication with the control unit 1150 may be actuated to mechanically engage the closure trigger release to prevent the closure trigger release from being actuated when the firing member is not in the unfired position.
- the elongate shaft 1118 and end effector 1102 are rotatable about the longitudinal shaft axis SA by a manual rotation system 1140'.

- the pin 1119 engages one of a plurality of holes defined in a rotary indexing member 1146 of the rotation nozzle 1144 preventing the elongate shaft 1118 and end effector 1102 from being rotated about the longitudinal shaft axis SA.
- the pin 1119 is disengaged from the nozzle 1144 such that the elongate shaft 1118 and end effector 1102 can be rotated when the rotation nozzle 1144 is rotated.
- the shaft rotation system is a manual shaft rotation system 1140'. See FIG. 64 .
- the elongate shaft 1118 and the end effector 1102 are not rotatable about the shaft axis SA unless the jaws of the end effector 1102 are in the open position owing to the lockout that is engaged when the closure system is closed.
- the powered firing system 1120 cannot perform the firing stroke unless the jaws of the end effector 1102 are in the closed position (i.e., the closure trigger 1112 is in the clamped position) as discussed above.
- the manual shaft rotation system 1140' is locked out preventing the elongate shaft 1118 and end effector 1102 from being rotated about the shaft axis SA.

More specifically, the control unit 1150 actuates the lock solenoid 1170 to prevent the mechanical closure system 1110 from being actuated when the end effector 1102 and elongate shaft 1118 are being rotated.
- control unit 1150 prevents power form being supplied to the firing motor 1122 and the articulation motor 1132 when the end effector 1102 and the elongate shaft 1118 are being rotated, for example.
- the powered shaft rotation system 1140 may be employed in conjunction with a powered closure system, the powered firing system 1120, and the powered articulation system 1130, for example. In such instances, when the powered shaft rotation system 1140 is being actuated (i.e., the end effector 1102 and elongate shaft 1118 are being rotated about the shaft axis) the control unit 1150 prevents power from being supplied to the powered closure system and the powered firing system 1120.
